Bezos Scholars Program @ the Aspen Institute

The Bezos Scholars Program @ the Aspen Institute is a year-long leadership development program for public high school juniors and educators. It begins with a scholarship to attend the Aspen Ideas Festival and continues through the following school year when Bezos Scholar teams return home to launch sustainable, Local Ideas Festivals that transform their schools and communities.

We know that attendance at the Aspen Ideas Festival can be life changing for the individual. When these scholars—both students and educators—return home inspired to create Local Ideas Festivals, it may be life changing for schools and communities across the U.S.
